Spielberg SciFi/Fantasy/Horror Side-Productions Mini-Review

In the another mini-entry, we look at four movies that Spielberg personally oversaw for the different SciFi/Horror/Fantasy audiences and the uncanny reasons why they were all greenlit!   FILMS DISCUSSED:  Arachnophobia, Deep Impact, A.I. & The BFG     TALKING POINTS: *When Steven had soooo much money and wanted to do a James Bond movie, why didn't he just buy the entire franchise? *Will Disney come calling back to Spielberg or vice-versa sometime soon? *Did Spielberg produce Deep Impact as a personal "Screw you!" after an unpleasant BTS encounter with Armageddon star Ben Affleck? *And how these movies mirror the production of his Amazing Stories TV show?       GUESTS: Chris Page, Oreo Brewer, Ken Bates, Daniel Ryan, Jon Mark, Dave & Liam (Watch It If You Can) & Mike Ensing       MUSIC USED: "Where Dreams Are Born" (From A.I.: Artificial Intelligence) by John Williams
